Butyl Acetate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- N-Butyl Acetate
- Normal Butyl Acetate
- Butyl Ethanoate
- Acetic Acid N-Butyl Ester
Butyl acetate supplier in Malaysia for coatings, lacquer, ink, adhesive and manufacturing buyers. This page covers n-butyl acetate, also called normal butyl acetate, butyl ethanoate and acetic acid n-butyl ester, the common ester solvent used where medium evaporation and good resin solvency are required.
Commercial grades include industrial, technical, urethane and high-purity liquid n-butyl acetate. Industrial and technical material serves general solvent work, urethane grade supports moisture-sensitive coating systems, and high-purity material is selected when tighter impurity control is needed.
Paint and coatings formulators use butyl acetate solvent in paints, lacquers and thinners. Related demand covers printing inks, adhesives, leather finishes, resin handling and selected process extraction. This identity excludes isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl acetate, as well as butyl glycol acetate and ethyl acetate.

Butyl Acetate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial-grade butyl acetate | clear, colourless liquid | industrial solvent specification | General butyl acetate solvent use in paints, coatings, lacquers, inks, adhesives and manufacturing processes where an industrial specification is suitable. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical-grade butyl acetate | clear, colourless liquid | technical specification | Process and formulation solvent work where the buyer has defined limits for purity, water, colour, acidity or non-volatile residue. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Urethane-grade butyl acetate | clear, colourless liquid | urethane solvent specification | Polyurethane and other moisture-sensitive coating or resin systems that require tighter water and impurity control than a general industrial grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity butyl acetate | clear, colourless liquid | high-purity specification | Controlled manufacturing, extraction and laboratory work that needs lower impurity levels than standard solvent grades. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place away from ignition sources, heat and strong oxidisers. Handle as a flammable organic liquid and follow the safety information for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about butyl acetate
Are butyl acetate, n-butyl acetate and normal butyl acetate the same product?
On this page, yes. Butyl acetate is used as the common trade name for n-butyl acetate, also called normal butyl acetate, butyl ethanoate and acetic acid n-butyl ester. Isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl acetate are different isomers and should be enquired for separately.
Which butyl acetate grade should an industrial buyer request?
Industrial or technical grade is commonly specified for general coatings, inks, adhesives and manufacturing solvent use. Urethane grade is often preferred where low water and tighter impurity control matter to the resin system. High-purity material suits more demanding process or laboratory work. Send the application and specification so the quoted grade can be matched.
Is butyl acetate suitable for paint and coatings work?
Yes. n-Butyl acetate is widely used as a medium-evaporating solvent in paints, lacquers, thinners and related coating formulations. Suitability depends on the resin, drying profile and any water or purity limits, so buyers should identify the formulation and required grade in the enquiry.
What specifications should be included in a butyl acetate enquiry?
Include the required purity and any limits for water content, colour, acidity and non-volatile residue that matter to the process. Name n-butyl acetate when the normal isomer is required, and attach a current purchasing specification if one is already in use.
Is butyl acetate the same as butyl glycol acetate or ethyl acetate?
No. Butyl glycol acetate and butyl cellosolve acetate are glycol-ether esters, while ethyl acetate is a different short-chain ester. They are not interchangeable with n-butyl acetate without formulation approval.
What details are needed for a butyl acetate price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred pack format, documentation needs and required timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
